The Qorvo QPA2610 is a high-performance 2 Watt X-Band power amplifier designed for applications in radar, communications, and satellite communications. It operates within a frequency range of 8.5 to 10.5 GHz and delivers over 33 dBm of output power with a power-added efficiency exceeding 47%. The amplifier features a small signal gain of greater than 37.5 dB and is housed in a compact 5 x 5 mm plastic overmold QFN package, which is suitable for tight lattice spacing in phased array radar systems. The RF input and output ports are matched to 50? and include integrated DC blocking capacitors. The recommended bias conditions are a drain voltage of 20 V and a quiescent drain current of 56 mA. The QPA2610 is lead-free and compliant with RoHS standards, making it a suitable choice for environmentally conscious designs.
Qorvo's QPA2610 is a packaged, high performance power amplifier fabricated on Qorvo's production 0.15 um GaN on SiC process (QGaN15). Covering 8.5 - 10.5 GHz, the QPA2610 provides > 2 W of saturated output power and 23 dB of large-signal gain while achieving an impressive 47% power-added efficiency.
Packaged in a small 5 x 5 mm plastic overmold QFN, tight lattice spacing requirements for phased array radar applications is easily supported. RF input and output ports are matched to 50Ω and include integrated DC blocking capacitors. QPA2610 is part of a three-amplifier family and is pin compatible to QPA2612 and QPA2611.
Lead-free and RoHS compliant.
